Giving Up?

Life is difficult and hard to live unless you live it with an understanding. From what I know this Life is a huge test in being able to choose what is right and what is wrong, and of course other little things. I know from experience how things can get in the way to lead a person down the wrong path. When you live a secret it is hard to continue to cope with the mysteries of tomorrow. Being molested your younger years can make it hard to live. You start to think what was done to you is okay. Well it's not. This is a secret that I kept for many years, and let me tell you it made life so much harder. When I was finally able to let this dark corrosive secret out, it has truly lighten a burden that weighed me down so much. Okay, okay enough of this; what I'm trying to say is situations such as this can make you think different of life. It can make it very hard and cause you to think there is no purpose to life causing you to want to give up. Let me tell you, do not pull the plug it will just make things worse. Look past that hard situation and tell yourself I can do this. I will get through it. If you have a more positive out look on life, it will by far make life easier. Also, one of my biggest things, DON’T JUDGE one another. You don't like to be Judge, so dang it, don't do it to others. Regardless of there skin color, there sex preference, the way they act, the bad things they do...We are all from the same Father, the one that Loves us no matter what. Let him be the judge. We are his children and he doesn’t want us to be so judgmental towards each other or hate one another. We are all one in his eyes. I know that the purpose of my life is not to conform to things this world wants me to be. I am here to prove to our Father in Heaven that I can strive to do my very best and show him that I am worthy enough to enter back into his presences. Life can be a struggle, but where would you be without one here and there. I am such a better person and more of an appreciator of Life and all it has to offer because of my struggles, that I so diligently overcame. I believe in you all! You can do it! So, rethink that giving up! Life is too short for that.

Life is too short for that, I miss my friends that have "pulled the plug" and to even see Gabriel have to go through the pain of having a friend do the same thing is such a waste. Nothing is ever that bad, There is a way out of every situation and "pulling the plug" is NOT one of them!
I love you mike, and I know that you have come a long way in making your life better. You have become a very special person to me as well as being my brother! Smile, you will do great!!!! xoxoxoxoxo

I know you have had a difficult time with things, and I have come to know you and you are such a strong person. I know you have overcome a lot. I try to not let things build up or discourage me. I also try hard to watch what I say and not judge people. You have taught me to be a better person. Thank you for being one of my best friends the past 9 months. I know Drew has missed me because we spend so much time together, but I will be missing you soon and your friendship means a lot.

Mike, this is a good post--it's nice of you to encourage others with your story. Keep it up, choosing your words carefully and trying to keep an attitude of gratitude and not boasting (see Alma 26:12 and the whole chapter)

You're not on my links because when I made them you weren't really doing your blog. I'll have to get in there and try to hook you up.

I think you can't get to Nicky's blog because she doesn't have one--she just made that one up to register.
